This appears to be more recent, but is quite impressive.
ha! white really messed up that attack 😀

what was the first mistake, taking the knight on h7? gxh6 first looks like total murder...

or was it a draw?
Normal 1200 cannot win top player unless 1200 player is a top player sandbagging.

he wasn't a sandbagger, everything about that game was completely legitimate, which is why it was such a big deal at the time. I wouldn't have called him a 1200 if he was something else.

This is correspondence chess where you can go to sleep, look over the position and think. If you want to tell us a normal 1900 cannot see a mate in one in correspondence chess, something is wrong somewhere.

Talk to someone over 1500 in ICC. Oh I forgot wormwood you are 1100 ICC so you cannot see mate in one.

first you think kramnik missing a mate in one doesn't count because 3 hours for a game is so much faster than a correspondence game, and now you think no 1500+ patzer on ICC misses a mate in one in blitz??

what's your handle on ICC?

Any player no matter how high their rating is can make a mistake, even if they have a year for each move, the fact that this is correspondence does not mean that all players actually study all games in depth, I know 50 percent of my games I only look at the board for a few minutes after my opponent has moved, have a minute or two on analasis board then move, sometimes I just move after 30 seconds of looking at the board due to time pressures in life or just playing a casual game or whatever the reason.

Any player can blunder at any time

He even had a chance to redeem himself. Missed it twice. It's always fun to catch someone sleeping though 😉

edit: forgot my favorite rhp game - Game 3008199
survived a brutal kingside barrage, somehow, and delivered a nice fork. I was rated much lower at the time and this game gave me confidence and a winning game plan.

Yes I know it's bullet and I messed up on move 40, but a win against someone nearly 1000 points higher still counts! 😏
